It’s been two weeks now since my surgery.  Kim came by one day.  Teresa came alone one day and with Jimmy another.  I see Jennifer and Lisa electronically.  Buck is tiring of taking care of me.  He would deny this but after three days he was ready for me to fetch things for myself.  Mother isn’t coping very well with me being unable to go to her house at least three days a week.  Buck drove me there last week but I think that will be it until I can drive myself.  She COULD come to see me.  She COULD do some things for herself.  She doesn’t..... but that’s another story.

I have a good physical therapist named Robert.  He makes me push myself to the point of “can’t do that any more”.  My leg is tight today but I will get on the machine again later and do a few laps around the kitchen before bedtime.

Hope you are well....

I missed blogging on Monday because I was having my knee replacement done.  Had to stay in the hospital overnight.  Buck has been good about helping up and down stairs and brining me coffee.  I started physical therapy yesterday....I survived and I didn’t cry.

January is almost over, can you believe it?  Buck had a good birthday ~ red velvet cake with ice cream, went out to eat several times, Home Depot cards and money.  He wants to buy a band saw and now has the money for it.

I just finished an hour on my knee machine so I think it’s time for a nap.

Later....

Good morning!
Today is Martin Luther King Day so no mail.  No school today for the kiddos but Jakob is running today.  We will go watch at least PART of the day.  The meet starts at 8 a.m. and that’s a little early for Buck lately.  He usually doesn’t move until 8:30 ~ 9.  The meet is in Birmingham so we would need to roll at 6:30 ~ not happenin’.  
They are predicting snow for our area tomorrow.  No excitement here ~ no children to play with and snow isn’t exactly Buck’s thing.  It is our normal grocery shopping day so maybe it will hold off until we can get that done.
Watched Greyson play basketball on Saturday.  Buck says he reminds him of Lisa when she was younger and didn’t know what to do out there.  It just isn’t his game right now ~ maybe later OR maybe he will be a baseball guy.
I should probably go have some cereal and read my bible.

Later....

Well, I let Monday slide by without posting anything here.  Yesterday was a Mother day ~ took her some lunch and checked her mail, etc.  Today was a doctor day for Buck.  We saw his rheumatologist and stopped for lunch before coming back to the house.

I’ve been walking almost every day.  I am having a total knee replacement in two weeks.  Wouldn’t it be GREAT if I was 50 pounds lighter???  Not going to happen but I can shoot for 10.

Hope you all are having a wonderful new year.... til next week.

Happy New Year!  2018 has arrived ~ tip toe ing in quietly at our house.  I have to admit ~ I missed the ball drop ~ yes, I was sleeping!

What do we have this month? Three doctor appointments (none mine), two birthdays (neither mine) and knee replacement surgery (all me).

Resolutions?  Nope ~ I start every month with a list ~ not as formidable as a year.  Sometimes I carry through and sometimes I fail miserably.

I hope to blog more often this year ~ although blogs seem a little “old school” these days, don’t they?  Gotta Instagram it, Facebook it, or Twitter it.... oh for the “good old days” when we talked face to face.

Greyson and I did the Walk to End Alzheimer's and I had so much fun with him this year.  He played the games they had set up, we ate cotton candy, did our walk, and got a popsicle.  He is a trouper for sure and we walked a while, stopped for a drink of water, walked some more.

This past Saturday I did the Breast Cancer Awareness 5K by myself.  I did not give up AND I managed to do it in under an hour (55. 04 minutes).

Today we went to the orthopedic doctor for Buck's shoulder.  He got a steroid shot and a set of exercises.  We will revisit him in six weeks to discuss any changes ~ good or bad.

Good morning!
Sitting in the library while my apps update.  I went to see an orthopedic today.  Looks like I will be getting a new knee after the first of the year ~ yea!  It has bothered me for a year now so, I guess it is time.
In other news,  Greyson and I are signed up for the Walk to End Alzheimer's this month.  Thankful Dr. Vague put a shot in my knee.  I am also signed up for the Breast Cancer Walk next month.... we'll see how the first one goes before I get too excited about the second.
I will be flying to Colorado in October for Claire's birthday and again in December for Emma's.  Two more good reasons not to have surgery yet.

That's about all I know for now....
